Good day! Can someone assist me with setting up dual monitors using WinCC Unified V18? I've adjusted the resolution to 3840 in the project settings, but during runtime, only one screen is displayed and I have to drag it to the left to extend the display. Essentially, I am looking to open the browser in full screen across two monitors to view the project overview seamlessly.
To achieve a seamless display across dual screens, adjust the browser window to span both monitors. It's important to note that despite having a combined resolution of 3840 pixels, factors like scroll bars and borders may reduce the usable screen space. Consider setting the project width to 3800 pixels for optimal compatibility when stretching the browser window. Additionally, explore the screen stretch options in the runtime manager for further customization. Keep in mind that this feature may have been introduced in a specific update, such as V18 or V19. Alternatively, you can utilize one browser client per monitor, but this method will utilize two client licenses.
Hi there! I suspect the issue might be the setup within your operating system itself, not just in WinCC. You might want to check your Display settings in Windows and make sure that the option to "Extend these displays" is selected under the Multiple Displays drop-down menu. This will allow Windows to treat your two monitors as one extended display. Additionally, make sure your graphics card supports multi-monitor setup. Then, in WinCC Unified V18, ensure that the HMI screen is programmed according to your resolution (3840). It should, ideally, help unify your two screens into a singular workspace during runtime.
Hey there! I've worked with dual monitor set-ups a fair amount. If you're dragging the screen over, it sounds like Windows recognizes the two monitors, but the application is not "understanding" the extended desktop. It seems like WinCC might not directly support dual monitors in the way you're expecting. Perhaps a workaround could be opening two instances of the browser, one on each screen, and navigating to the appropriate section of the project on each. Not ideal, I know, but it might work in your situation. Alternatively, you can download third-party software like DisplayFusion or UltraMon to manage your multi-monitor setup more effectively. I hope that helps!
Hey there! It sounds like you’ve got a solid start with changing the resolution, but for dual monitor setups in WinCC Unified V18, you might also want to check your display settings in Windows to ensure that both monitors are recognized and set to "Extend" rather than "Duplicate." Once that's done, try adjusting the positioning of the monitors in Windows so that they align as you want them to, which should help the browser open across both screens without having to drag it manually. Good luck, and let us know if you need more help!
Hey there! It sounds like you’re on the right track adjusting the resolution, but remember that in Windows settings, you also need to ensure that both monitors are recognized and set to extend the display rather than mirror it. After you have them set up, try using the shortcut Windows key + P to select 'Extend'. This should help you run the WinCC Unified browser in full screen across both monitors. If you're still having issues, check if your graphics drivers are up to date as that can sometimes affect multi-monitor setups. Good luck!
